What is the Leitner System?

        Leitner System is a widely used method of efficiency that involve using flashcard and it was proposed by a German science journalist in 1970. This system implement spaced repetition where the user will need to memorize the flashcard again and again until it's content leave a mark in the user memory.

How does the Leitner System work?

 1. Creating flashcards

When creating flashcards, you can either create physical flashcards or the electronic on depending on your own preference.

   

 2. Create boxes

The boxes that house the flashcards can either be physical or digital depending on what type of flashcards you have chosen and each boxes need to have a date or time which you will review the content in that boxes weekly.

    3. Reviewing

When you are reviewing the flashcard of the first boxes, every flashcards you answer correctly will move into the second boxes and every flashcards you answer incorrectly will stay in the first for you to review again for the date you specified for each boxes. Later when you review the flashcards in the second box, every card you answer correctly will move into the third box and the cards you answered incorrectly will moved back to the first box. You repeat this for many time as you want until all cards move to the last box.

Why the Leitner System?

    Instead of cramming all of the content you want to memorize al in on go and risking forgetting it in the unforeseen future, the Leitner System help the user repeatedly and gradually memorize the content over a period of time which it will help lower the risk of forgetting it later on.
